Canned tuna isn’t my every day go-to protein, but I have been refreshing my earthquake supplies box (taking out older cans and replacing them), so I came across a few cans (some were 10 years old!) They were just as fresh as they were when they went into the can!
Not one to keep mayonnaise on hand, I improvised. When combined, sour cream, kefir, and fermented mustard give a similar tang, and avoid those rancid vegetable oils so often found in most brands of mayo! Plus all the good healthy fats in the dressing complement the low-fat, high-protein content of the meat.
Serve it on some toasted sourdough, or bake some homemade tortilla chips to dip into it!
